Ben, a wannabe stand up comedian in Melbourne, doesn’t live for the weekend like the O’Jays hit song, in fact he finds that philosophy kinda depressing. Spending most of his life on the stage, in his Uber and hanging out with his friends, he floats through life wondering - is there more to this?
Lazybones watches lay-about young people who can't seem to cement their futures. Through naturalistic techniques, the audience experiences relatable human moments in the characters' lives filled with humour and warmth.

The Melbourne-made indie comedy Lazybones tracks the life of a 20-something trying to find his way in life and love. We spoke to the film’s director/co-writer Michael Jones.
From self-contained short to Australian feature film, Michael Jones’ Lazybones has been a long time coming. Chatting about the process of making a very personal comedy, Jones had to warn us: don’t call it a coming of age film.
